NFL slaps New York Giants’ Xavier McKinney, Carter Coughlin with fines

The New York Giants upset the New England Patriots, 10-7, in Week 12 and then immediately headed into their bye week. But when they return on Monday, two players will have envelopes from the league waiting for them.

Safety Xavier McKinney was fined $13,659 for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty committed with just seconds remaining in the game.

For McKinney, this is his second (known) fine of the season. He was also docked $14,833 for a late hit on Terry McLaurin back in Week 7.

In addition to McKinney, linebacker Carter Coughlin was fined $5,764 for unnecessary roughness in the second quarter. He was not penalized on the play, so his fine will likely be appealed.

Apparently, in the mind of league officials, Coughlin is just supposed to let the return man run right by him as opposed to making the tackle. Or something.

Meanwhile, linebacker Cam Brown was not fined for a big special teams hit on wide receiver Pop Douglas. The Patriots were furious over the play and Douglas ended up in concussion protocol.

“The refs need to do something about that because that’s some (expletive). They need to either throw a flag or something,” Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker said after the game. “This ain’t no (expletive) wrestling.”

“To me, that’s a joke. You can’t say you care about player safety and not flag that play,” Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers added.

The Patriots did not receive any fines from the league.

Andrew Thomas, Azeez Ojulari limited

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday following a scary scene the day prior. Practice squad cornerback Amani Oruwariye was injured on a kickoff drill and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

Thankfully, Oruwariye was back at team facilities for the team’s second practice of the week and had full function in his extremities.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller questionable vs. Dallas Cowboys

The New York Giants will open their 2023 regular season on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium and will be relatively healthy when they do.

Everyone on the 53-man roster practiced on at least a limited basis this week including wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who is returning from a torn ACL.

“Same. Everybody’s going, and then we’ll talk about (game designations) tonight,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Friday. “I think everybody’s going to be out here today and then we’ll sit here and talk about it tonight.”

There was, however, an unexpected development during practice as tight end Darren Waller was added to the injury report with a hamstring issue. He was limited on Friday.

Meanwhile, down in Arlington, the Cowboys were dealing with their own headaches as two starting offensive linemen — Tyron Smith and Tyler Smith — had injuries pop up this week.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Cowboys can be found below:

Cor’Dale Flott, Wan’Dale Robinson remain limited

The New York Giants gave the players a day off on Thursday which meant there was no practice. And while some players were at the facility, there was no on-field activity.

Accordingly, the Giants were forced to project their second injury report of the week and as a result, there were no official changes to a player’s status.

Cornerback Cor’Dale Flott and wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson remain “limited.” Their status for Sunday night is 50-50.

Wan’Dale Robinson, 6 others limited

The New York Giants took the field for their first (open) practice of the 2023 regular season on Wednesday, which also gave way to their first official injury report and a few updates from head coach Brian Daboll.

The good news? Despite being a little banged up at the conclusion of training camp, every single member of the team’s 53-man roster practiced in at least a limited capacity.

“It’s good to have them all out here,” Daboll told reporters.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on cutdown day, continued to progress toward a return. He was limited on Wednesday alongside six others.

The Giants’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

D.J. Davidson activated from PUP

Prior to practice on Monday, New York Giants defensive lineman D.J. Davidson passed his physical and was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Davidson joins a suddenly deep group of interior defensive linemen, including rookie Jordon Riley, who played well in his NFL preseason debut.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee) remain on PUP with no timetable for return, although general manager Joe Schoen previously implied that Robinson could be activated this week.

The news on wide receiver Collin Johnson, who suffered a knee injury against the Detroit Lions, was also somewhat positive. His issue does not appear to be long-term.

“I don’t think it’s long-term, but I’m not a doctor, either,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.

Johnson will not practice on Monday but right tackle Evan Neal (concussion) will take a step forward. He will participate in the non-contact portion of practice as he works his way back. However, Neal remains in concussion protocol.

Meanwhile, offensive linemen Devery Hamilton (leg) and Tyre Phillips (unknown), running back Gary Brightwell (ankle), linebacker Cam Crown (unknown), defensive lineman Ryder Anderson (triceps), and defensive back Nick McCloud (stomach) will not practice.

Finally, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (abdominal) will practice after leaving Friday night’s preseason game against the Lions early. Nose tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (groin) will also practice.
